Jan 19th: Jalapeno Cream Cheese Jucy Lucy and Homemade Potato Chips


Today we made Jalapeno cream cheese Jucy Lucy hamburgers and homade cajun seasoned potato chips! If you are unfamiliar with the Jucy Lucy I suggest you visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jucy_Lucy and do a little reading.


As a bonus, my brother made pretzel buns for the burgers, and they turned out great!


To make a jucy lucy, first thing you gotta do is make some seriously thin burger patties. Two patties for each burger. When you have them nice and thin, put a slice of cheese (or in this case spoon out some cream  cheese and spread it) on one of the patties. At this point we also added some jalapenos to the cream cheese.
Next thing to do is put another super thin patty on top of the first patty and seal them up around the edges trapping the cheese inside. You want them as airtight as possible. Then all thats left is to fry them up in a skillet and you've done it.


For the chips, we sliced the potatoes very thin and then sprinkled them with "cajun" seasoning. After that we just threw them into a wok filled a couple inches deep with vegetable oil.


Everything came out perfectly. I threw some avacado and roasted garlic salsa on the burger, and proceeded to eat it mercilessly.
